I have been listening for the last week German player Fumiko Shiraga plays Bruckner’s sole piano works. The CD has the piano version of the Adagio from Symphony No. 7, the 26 min 40 second of pure hallucinogenic ride.
I think the world pianist need to look into the work deeper as I would like to hear it to plays more.

Despite that I like the Fumiko’s CD I very much disagree with her play of Bruckner. Did she study with Horowitz to bang the notes? I am not thrilled with her expressions, with her colors, with hear control dynamics, with the way how she care the poses and with many other things. I do not like the instrument she plays – it would be great for Chopin but not good for Bruckner, even it was the D Sternways. I do not like the room she played in and many other things in the recording. Still, I am very glad that I bought it and I do advise to get it. This is very “thin” Bruckner but it is fan to hear it in this way. Wish somebody like Alfred Cortot or Edwin Fischer or even young Maurizio Pollini took the Adagio with their ability to throw the colors…
